TD Goring has maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 70 km/h.
In its bulletin, Pagasa said TD Goring is less likely to bring heavy rainfall over the country in the next three days. However, considering the proximity of the tropical cyclone to land, any westward shift in the track forecast may result in heavy rainfall over portions of Cagayan Valley in the next three days.
“The Southwest Monsoon may be enhanced by this tropical cyclone beginning on Sunday or Monday, resulting in possible occasional rains over the western portions of Central and Southern Luzon,” the bulletin added.
